    Anyway I buy a few bits and just as I was gathering up and heading for the door he says how about an ashtray? I says no thanks sure I don't even smoke.

    Electric car seats, slow and needles expense in a car,
    They get good when then hold and remember a programmable position but useless up to that.

    Microwave dings are necessary
    Microwave popcorn is very bad for you anyway

    Electric everything in a car is pointless apart from windows. Doors in particular are pure ridiculous.

    Cigarette filters. Yeah, that'll stop the cancer.

    Headphones that cost less then a tenner. Music will be inaudible on the street and either one of 2 things is guaranteed to happen: one earbud completely dies or the wire near the plug makes a crackly sound when it is moved. Usually after about a week of use.

    The corner on a packet of ham that says 'open here', you pull it and all that happens is the little corner bit rips off and the packet still ain't open. And they say resealable sometimes but never are.

    The worst though is the ding! sound a non digital microwave timer makes when it finishes cooking. Why do we need this to happen when the timer gets to zero, the frigging thing shuts off at that point anyway so there's no danger of overcooking, and I don't think I've ever been more than a meter or so away anytime I'm nuking something, it's not like I'm gonna forget about it and it will get cold, and even if it did, the whole point of the thing is it can heat stuff back up quickly. I doubt most people even cook things to exact time increments. Plus I don't need an alarm to notify everyone in the house that I'm stuffing my fat face at 2 am.

    Just eat all the ham in one go , that'll teach the packet.

    Take the microwave apart and remove the "ding" , be aware of radioactive **** or something.

    Mmmm cigarettes.

    And translating EU business documents in to Irish, ffs, at a cost of millions!

    As if anyone is ever going to read them in Irish. No wonder the EU will fall apart.

    The little extra button inside garments like jackets, shirts...
    Fair enough when clothes were really expensive, but you'd often find the extra buttons on things from Dunnes, New Look ... I've never used a single one.

    So much packaging, like the plastic around Babybels, compounded by a mesh bag ffs.

    These bottle/cup sleeves to keep warm or cold. Lots and lots of pound shop plasticky gadgets we don't need and generally don't use.

    They are good for scratching the back of your other leg.


    Those tempered glass screen protectors designed to protect your shiny expensive smartphone screen. All the one's I've used have either started to peel of at the corner but even worse I find they crack quite easily - more easily than the screen would crack. So you end up with a hairline crack across the screen leaving your phone looking like crap or having to go to the bother of buying and putting on another one which is a pain in the arse.
